Frameless or Traditional

Evo Line (frameless)

The new Evo line from Showplace. The name is a play on “evolution” and represents a more modern look for cabinetry called full access or frameless.

“The new line is four pieces of material joined together without a hardwood face frame, so there’s marginal increase in capacity, but it lends itself to a more contemporary and modern look,” said Scott Korsten, director of marketing at Showplace Wood Products.

Traditional

Most furniture and cabinets use what is called "overlay" construction: Doors and drawer headers are in front of the cabinet's face frame, and are slightly larger than the openings in the frame, so they overlap or "overlay" them.

Inset

Inset doors and drawer headers are fitted inside the face frame in a precisely-sized opening.
